The daily herald. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1886-1887, 1887-06-01

"hSu aiOnb tnS lawn, long, gay COL
umn, singing college songs as they
went. The ceremony began, after the
introduction Of singing, with an adj
dress delivered by Prof. +. N. Hors-
ford, as follows:
We have great pleasure, Your Ma
jesty in this gathering to memorial
service. 1t is a pretty concet that every
wreath Of spring time not less than
every season Of drouth aud every blast
of autumn are all recorded in the tissue
of every living tree. II we may accept
this as true we cannot help feeling that
each leaf now setting on the tree which
is to commemorate royal visit to
Wellesley will have sweet service in
trusted to it. Not only each leaf Of
this years growth, but all the leaves
that in future will give glory to the
foliage of the tree will possess to the
sense subtle enough to perceive it the
written story Of the event in which
Princess and Queen from beyond the
sea took part. 1t was welcome an
nouncement that Your Majesty desired
to see Wellesley College, 1t is in a
region in which Hawaii and Massa-
chusetts may be said to have some
association in common. An officer Of
the college was from Honolulu. The
late Minister from the King Of Hawaii
to the Government at Washington, Mr.
Elisha Allen, was a genial friend Of
many among us. We are near the spot
hallowed by the presence and labors of
the Apostle Eliot, one Of the earliest of
the teachers sent out by Englishmen,
the herald Of Christian civilization to
the new world. 1t was the descend
ants Of the Englishmen, moved by the
same philanthropic spirit, who nearly
100 years ago began in the education
of Henry Obookiah the work which
has given to his people and their rulers
place among the Christian powers Of
the world. 1t is great satisfaction to
us all that Your Majesty takes part in
the planting Of this tree. We will hope
that it will grow to enrich by its shade
the attractiveness OF these grounds,
devoted, with all these halls and cot
tages, to the education of women, and
that, however ample the shelter it may
give, It will be, at the best, only a type
Of the gracious protection which kin
dred institutions Of whatever order will
enjoy under the sway of the royal
family OF the Sandwich Islands.
Her Majesty, in manner expressing
much pleasure, put several spadefuls Of
earth around the tree and then thanked
the college cordially, saying that the
pleasant association would be always
dear to her mind. The Princess fol-
lowed the Queen, saying a few pleasant
words, wishing that the tree would re-
fresh many students. "Let this tree
be a memento Of our visit" she said.
Mrs Durant hoped that the oppor-
tunity would come so that the Queen
would rest under the shadow Of the
tree. Alderman Donovan, in the name
Of the city of Boston, Prof Horsford,
representing the Board Of Trustees,
DIR. Mckenzie, the President Of the
Senior Class, and others, assisted in the
ceremony. After a brief visit to the
rooms Of the college the royal party
departed amid a shower Of flowers
from the students. "Good by, all"
said the Queen in clear English, as she
stood in the doorway.
Queen Kapiolani and her suite, ac-
companied by Hon, VIM. Clahin and
wife and Gorham ID. Gilman and wife
and others, arrived at Newton on the
1885 train, when carriages we're at
once taken for the residence of Mr.
Gilman, corner of Baldwin and Elm
wood Streets Ward 7. Arrived there,
the royal guests were invited to light
lunch IN the dining room, which had
been specially prepared and adorned
for the occasion. No reception was
held, however, and at I;45 carriages
were taken for the American Watch
Company's works at Watham, arriving
there shortly after o'clock, They
we're met by the Mayor and members
of the City Government, together with
the officers Of the company, and after
dinner had been enjoyed in the Offices
Of the company carriages were taken
to the station, and the party returned
TO Boston.
